In addition to what the other players have said, you can also do the “Beneath Cursed Sands” speedrun worlds trick to practice in Mor Ul Rek.

To do this, log into a Speedrun world, then start the Beneath Cursed Sands speedrun.

Use a minigame teleport to get to the Fight Pits, then walk past the fight caves entrance to the fire gate. You should have a fire cape in your inventory to get past the gate.

From there continue to the far end of the cave and talk to the guy sitting on a large throne. After talking a bit he’ll offer to have you do a combat test. The first one is against a single Jad.

On your way there, there’s a bank chest where you can grab an inventory of gear for the fight including a rune crossbow, food, and potions. Likely a bit under what you’ll be using for the real fight, but if you can do it with the crossbow, you’ll have an easy time with a blowpipe.

Good luck!!

I also did this while trying to turn the volume up with the phone in my pocket years ago

Admins can enable it in the Teams portal, if that happens, it becomes visible to users

Otherwise the option is hidden

Same - it’s pretty fun on a guitar controller if you have one!

Actual Nazi Nick Fuentes is on video saying “that is a genuine, bonafide Roman Salute” (paraphrasing)

Saw that on The Humanist Report’s coverage of it today, who, jokingly, tried giving Musk as much “benefit of the doubt” or “leeway” as he could, while citing sources like Fuentes.

Musk is a card carrying Nazi, same as the rest.

Bleh.

This is awful.

Second ABB

It’s great for most of the stuff I read

It was still going strong when I hopped on

I might just cancel if they do some of the asinine shit that was surveyed

I mean yea if you don’t want the account anymore, who cares, get that bag lmao

Happy to help! I’ve been involved in the Cosmere fandom for… Way too long now.

Lift is pretty divisive, so I don’t blame you. She’s supposed to be the main character for book 6. Hopefully she matures a bit during the time jump after book 5 (promise this isn’t a spoiler, it’s been planned this way since the beginning) because otherwise 1k+ pages of her is gonna be grating.

Again not spoiling, but her flashbacks could be interesting, ie: visiting the nightwatcher, stuff with her mom, etc.

Dawnshard is definitely the better of the Stormlight novellas. It’s a fun sailing adventure about Rysn. Definitely pick it up after OB.

Warbreaker is more political intrigue heavy than other Sanderson books. It’s mainly about two sister princesses, Siri and Vivenna. They find their destinies switched at the stroke of a pen. Colorful chaos ensues.

It’s a good read and pretty self-contained, but he’s said he wants to do sequels for it eventually (read: it’s been on the back-burner for almost 20 years. He’s just now getting to the Elantris sequels that he also promised…)

The biggest crossover to Stormlight is that it contains the origin of a particular sword.

It’s also available for free on his website.

There are absolutely some slower sections of book 3 - namely a trek through a certain ocean

I promise it picks up through the end of OB and the beginning of RoW

Also, you should check out his other Cosmere entries. There’s some significant crossover as it’s a shared universe, especially with Warbreaker and Mistborn.

If you check out the State of the Sanderson, it should be around 2031 or 32

Not quite 10yr away

But he’s been ambitious with his timelines in the past

No idea, hence my “probably not”

A deal with Microsoft, maybe?

Storage is cheap, windows licensing is expensive, maybe Lenovo is trying to add value for the people who want to stick to Windows

Probably not, though. Hopefully it’s repairable/upgradable.

So in d&d, the smaller dice get associated with different weapons, and classes by extension, so, typically:

D4: daggers/fists > Rogue/Monk

D6: fireballs > Wizards/Sorcerers

D8: longsword > Fighter

D10: longbow > Ranger

D12: battle-axe > Barbarian

D20: everything

Use this how you will, I’m not super knowledgeable about Western Esoteric Mystery Traditions but I hope this helps!

Looking back on it that show was

Hmmm.

Brackets in a quote denote a change to what was actually said. In a perfect world, with quality journalism, they’re used to summarize or make the quote flow better in the piece without changing the intent or meaning of the quote

In this case, they very well could’ve changed “won’t be” to “will be”

I don’t expect that to be the case here, but it’s possible.

Also, using an ellipsis inside brackets like this: “[…]” Is an intentional omission by the author of the piece.

A lot of service workers don’t get New Years Day off, despite it being a federal holiday in the US.

The dollars must flow, or something like that.

Scalie then

Same idea lmao
